Am I without humour if I can't see why a lot of 'new' comedy is funny?

Well - a great variety of responses and thanks to those who have made me feel that perhaps I'm not a Victorian prude. As several posters have said, humour that has been thought out and has a clever puch line seems so much funnier than listening to someone being told to 'f**k off' . I don't get Mrs. Brown's Boys either, and Mrs Brown makes me feel uneasy!

GrowingOldDisgracefully I really couldn’t get into Fleabag either, but funnily enough I don’t recall the swearing!!

Somebody mentioned Jonathan Pie and I really do like his videos. But I also found myself turning into him in my last job as I was so frustrated with our education system!

Sir Ken Dodd.
When he did his afternoon matinee shows he'd check hi s audience and then announce he was changing the name ,of the show to 'Fifty Shades of Beige!"

Peter Kay for me!

I've rarely found French and Saunders funny although I did enjoy Ab Fab. We saw them in a tent in Battersea Park when they had just started out and they were not funny at all. Rik Mayall was there, in his Kevin Turvey role reciting "Fish that I like" and he was very funny.

Dave Allen (I'm sure he would be censored now). Black Books. Billy Connolly and Victoria Wood. I used to like Sarah Millican but there's too much talk about bodily functions. Joan Rivers also very funny.

I suppose some of the subject matter of the older commedians would upset some people hence so much dependence upon bodily functions.

A Netflix series that we've enjoyed is The Kominsky Method with Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin - what I would call wise cracking Jewish humour. The first series was funnier than the second because Alan Arkin left at the end of hte first.

If you like Jewish humour there are lots of good clips on You tube - just google Jewish Folks telling Jewish Jokes. They often make me laugh out loud.

I recall seeing Chic Murray on TV decades ago & enjoyed his surreal material. Then in the 1990's an American stand-up came on UK television with clever material in a similar vein to Chic's & I became hooked - his name is Steven Wright.

Steven's material is clean & swearing-free. I don't know if he still performs but there is loads of it on YouTube going back to his very first performance.

I'm enjoying listening to Conversations from a long marriage on BBC Sounds. OH downloaded them for me as he thought they would make me smile and they do. Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play the couple.

Fleabag isn’t funny at all. Only watched a few minutes, that was enough.

Morecambe &Wise /Ken Dodd /Les Dawson.
No F needed to have me in stitches.

I love most comedy.
Not Mrs. Brown's boys, though.
Not dad's army.
Not cannon and ball.
No problem with swearing.
I like father Ted.
The two Ronnies (four candles)
Peep show.
The inbetweeners.
Loved Les Dawson; there is going to be some unseen footage released soon, as it would have been his 90th soon.

MissA
Ronnie Corbett’s daughter has an antique-y boutique-y type shop in Brighton.
It’s called Four Candles.
I think that’s wonderful, I can imagine that he was a lovely dad.

I've an inkling I may have seen it, but I didn't know it was Ronnie's daughter.

I wouldn’t let a 29;year old watch Sarah Millican? Joe Lycet is embarrassingly pathetic, switched off Sewing Bee because of him
also that loud Canadian woman, she is dreadful. I like a quick wit that doesn’t rely on a steady stream of expletives.

Not 29 yr old, a 10 year old it should have been.

I enjoy 'Yes Minister' type of humour. It's very clever and I wish that there were more such programmes.
